1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope:
Shawulu ndi u ton duu Kristi Yesu ni tu tre u Rji wa kpa ta chu wrohni Kristi Yesu ni you suron.
2 To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hi ni Timotawus janji vre u kpayeim. Alheri, jinkai ni sun si rji ni Rji Iti ni Kristi Yesu Bachi mbu.
3 As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,
Na ki ma misi hla wu chachu'u du wu ti, misi hi ni makidoniya, wu ka kukrie ni Afisa, dan di hla ni ndi ba du bana tsro ba tre ri kan na.
4 Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.
Du ndi ba na wu toh mba ni bubu wo cholonchon wa bana kle na. iri kima ani ji sen yieu ye, nakima ka zo tie u Rrji u jaji.
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.
Ziza'ah manufa do ka i ahi sun rji ni mi kikla suron, rji ni mere didi ma grji ni janji yosuron.
6 From which things some going astray, are turned aside unto vain babbling:
Indi bari ba hu koh wa ana bina, jin kpie wa ba k'ma da nitre ruru tre.
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they affirm.
Ba son ba kam ti bi bla tre u tron naki bana toh kpie wa ba tre na, ka kpe wa ba kukire ni tuma na.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully:
Nakima ki toh di doka abi ma, inde iri ti du ni wu dede.
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for the just man, but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
Ki toh na idi bana yo doka nitu ndi bi klu sisri Rji na, sei de bi wa bana klu sisiri Rji na baba yan tawaye, na ndi wa bana hu Rji na baba bi lah tre, ni bi wa bana hei ni Rji na, ni, bi meme, ni bi wa ba wu ba timba baba ba yiwa, baba bi wundi.
10 For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine,
Don bi fasikanci baba bi hu lilon ni lilon ba kru ni kpamba ni bi yib ndi da duba kani ti gran, ni bi ti ce, ni bi shaida zur ni kpie wa ana kpa yeimi ni kpie didi na.
11 Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which hath been committed to my trust.
Umurni ahei ni tu tre Rji wo Irji ti lulu yo'u, wa ba ne amana.
12 I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry;
Mi gri ni Almasihu Yesu Bachi mbu wa ane gbengblen da kpa yeim ni me, ni mi du ma.
13 Who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Mi na hei na kima, ndi u lah tre ni 'u' tsanata, ni 'u' tawaye, nakima mi lo Rji suron wa yi jinkai ni mu don mi ti ba di na toh na di na hei ni bangaskiya na.
14 Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
Naki liheri Bachimbu a grji ni mu, ni bangaskiya, ni sun wa ahei ni mi Almasihu yesu.
15 A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.
Itrea ajaji tre wa ko hgan ni kpa yeim di Yesu Almasihu ye ni mi gbugbulu da kpa bi lah tre chuwo, nimi mba kwa i me mi ti meme zah ba.
16 But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
Nakima me mi kpa jinkai don ni tumu, me mi'u mumladu ba tsro vu suron Yesu Almasihu. A ti naki du me mi zama kpei u tsro ni bi wa ba kpa yeim ni Irji u sisei ni sei. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Zizan gye chu'u gbugbulu wa ana kwiu na, a hei riri Irji iriri nikon ni daukaka ba hi uma seisei ni sei. Amin (aiōn g165)
18 This precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy; according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good warfare,
Mi ban doka zi ni wu ivre mu Timotawus na di bana hla ni tume; du ka ri ni mi taku u didima.
19 Having faith and a good conscience, which some rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith.
Ti wai du ka zama ni bangaskiya ni mre didima. indi bari ba kamba bubu serton da ka bangaskiya don.
20 Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Na ba Himinaeus mba iskandari wa mi vu ba no ibrji duba foro da koya bawu du ba na ti meme na.
